LGI is the local specialist hospital for neurological trauma - hence the 10 min flight from Elvington to LGI

The BBC have updated their news with more details but nothing specific to his injury, they do however say Clarkson and May have been to visit him today and have quoted.........

"Referring to Hammond by his nickname, Clarkson said: "Both James and I are looking forward to getting our 'hamster' back." "

I hope this means there is hope for recovery from his injurys?

I certainly hope you are right!!!

SKY do come out with some crap on breaking news sometimes.

From my understanding though... Brain Tissue doesn't recover. Once injured thats it...

brain scan indicates no internal bleeding of the brain which is a good thing. he is considered serious but stable.

My thoughts go out to Richard Hammond, his family and his friends on this truly dark day. Hope that he makes a full and speedy recovery.
JC was right, we are all indeed rooting for the Hamster.
